10 Things WWE Need To Bring Back
10. Post PPV Highlights Packages
Between the early to mid-noughties WWE would cap off their PPVs with a montage of the most memorable moments set to the theme song used for the event. Many fans will remember the highlight package from WrestleMania X-Seven set to My Way by Limp Bizkit, but there were countless other instances of this trope and it is one that really should be brought back.
The argument has been made that the reason WWE no longer produce these highlight packages is down to their reluctance to give too much of the action away in an easily digestible music video when they are so hell-bent on new Network subscribers. To that I would argue that anyone who wants to watch a three hour plus wrestling event will not be satiated by a two minute montage. For those who have sat through some amazing matches and endured the worst, a well produced highlights video can send viewers away happy with the best of the show shining prominently in their minds.
This method was no doubt difficult for the wizards of WWE’s production and possibly benefited the artists providing the music for the PPV more than WWE itself but it is a relic of days gone past that deserves a revival. With a lack of grandeur and majesty in WWE’s PPV calendar this could be a great way to make the shows more significant and expressive.
